Setting the image aspect
You can change the aspect ratio (horizontal-to-vertical ratio) when taking picturesusing live view. Depending on your preference, you can set the aspect ratio to [4:3](standard), [16:9], [3:2], [6:6], or [3:4].

1 Display the live control (P. 20) and select the aspect ratio item using
FG.

2 Use HI to select an aspect ratio and press Q.
# Cautions• JPEG images are cropped to the selected aspect ratio; RAW images, however, are notcropped but are instead saved with information on the selected aspect ratio.
• When RAW images are played back, the selected aspect ratio is shown by a frame.

% Tips• For information on cropping existing photographs or changing their aspect ratio, see“Editing still images” (P. 67).

ISO sensitivity
Increasing ISO sensitivity increases noise (graininess) but allows photographs to betaken when lighting is poor. The setting recommended in most situations is [AUTO],
which starts at ISO 200 — a value that balances noise and dynamic range — and thenadjusts ISO sensitivity according to shooting conditions.

• A fast shutter speed can freeze a fast action scene without any blur. A slow shutter
speed will blur a fast action scene. This blurring will give the impression of dynamic
motion.

2 Rotate the dials to choose shutter speed and aperture.

Choosing when the exposure ends (bulb)
You can take a picture with a bulb exposure time in which the shutter stays open as
long as you hold down the shutter button. Time the end of the exposure to suit the
subject. Use for night landscapes and fireworks. In M mode, set the shutter speed to[BULB].
• [BULB] is displayed on the monitor.

% Tips• Changing the roles of the main and sub dials. [Dial Function]:
To automatically end bulb shooting after a specified period of time. [Bulb Timer]:

g “Customizing camera settings” (P. 81)# Cautions• To prevent blur during bulb photography, mount the camera on a tripod and use a remote
cable (P. 102).
• The following functions are not available during bulb shooting:Sequential shooing/self-timer shooting/AE bracket shooting/image stabilizer/
flash bracketing

Noise in images
While shooting at slow shutter speeds, noise may appear on-screen. These phenomena
are caused when current is generated in those sections of the image pickup device thatare not normally exposed to light, resulting in a rise in temperature in the image pickup
device or image pickup device drive circuit. This can also occur when shooting with a highISO setting in a high-temperature environment. To reduce this noise, the camera activates
the noise reduction function. [Noise Reduct.]: g “Customizing camera settings” (P. 81)

attached. Be sure to replace the front and rear lens caps before putting the lens away.
• Clean the camera after use.
• Do not store with insect repellent.

Cleaning and checking the image pickup device

11
Information

This camera incorporates a dust reduction function to keep dust from getting on theimage pickup device and to remove any dust or dirt from the image pickup device
surface with ultrasonic vibrations. The dust reduction function operates when thecamera is turned on.
The dust reduction function operates at the same time as the pixel mapping, whichchecks the image pickup device and image processing circuitry. Since dust reductionis activated every time the camera's power is turned on, the camera should be held
upright for the dust reduction function to be effective.

# Cautions• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.
• Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect thecamera from corrosion.
• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
• Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before
taking important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works
properly.

Pixel mapping - Checking the image processing functions
The pixel mapping feature allows the camera to check and adjust the image pickup
device and image processing functions. After using the monitor or taking continuous
shots, wait for at least one minute before using the pixel mapping function to ensurethat it operates correctly.

Battery and charger• Use the single Olympus lithium-ion battery. Use only genuine OLYMPUS rechargeable
batteries.
• Use only compatible battery chargers to charge rechargeable batteries. BLS-1 batteries
must be charged using the BCS-1, BLS-5 batteries using the BCS-5.
• The camera’s power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.
• As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be drained
quickly.
• Performing auto focus repeatedly by pressing the shutter button halfway in shootingmode.
• Displaying images on the monitor for a prolonged period.
• When connected to a computer or printer.
• When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery warning
being displayed.
• The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery using theprovided charger before use.
• The normal charging time using the provided charger is approximately 3 hours 30 minutes(estimated).
• Do not attempt to use chargers not specifically designated for use with the supplied
battery, or to use batteries not specifically designated for use with the supplied charger.

# Cautions• There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type.
Dispose of the used battery following the instructions. “Battery Handling Precautions”(P. 114)

Using your charger abroad

11
Information• The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V to240 V AC (50/60 Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you
are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger may require a plug
adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel
agent.
• Do not use commercially available travel adapters as the charger may malfunction.

Interchangeable lenses
Choose a lens according to the scene and your creative intent. Use
lenses designed exclusively for the Four Thirds system and bearing theM. ZUIKO label or the symbol shown at right. With an adapter, you canalso use Four Thirds System and OM System lenses.

# Cautions• When you attach or remove the body cap and lens from the camera, keep the lens mounton the camera pointed downward. This helps prevent dust and other foreign matter fromgetting inside the camera.
• Do not remove the body cap or attach the lens in dusty places.
• Do not point the lens attached to the camera toward the sun. This may cause the camera
to malfunction or even ignite due to the magnifying effect of sunlight focusing through thelens.
• Be careful not to lose the body cap and rear cap.

Principal Accessories
Mount adapter
Mount adapter allows the camera to be used with lenses that do not conform to theMicro Four Thirds System standard.
 Four Thirds lens adapter (MMF–2)
The camera requires MMF-2 Four Thirds lens adapter to attach Four Thirds lenses.
Some features, such as autofocus, may not be available.
 OM adapter (MF–2)
Use with existing OLYMPUS OM System lenses. Focus and aperture must be adjusted
manually. Image stabilization can be used. Input the focal length of the lens being usedin the camera image stabilization settings.

Remote cable (RM–UC1)
Use when the slightest camera movement can result in blurred pictures, for example
for macro or bulb photography. The remote cable attaches via the camera USB
connector.

Converter lenses
Converter lenses attach to the camera lens for quick and easy fish-eye or macro
photography. See the OLYMPUS website for information on the lenses that canbe used.
• Use the appropriate lens attachment for SCN mode (f, w, or m).

Macro arm light (MAL–1)
Use to illuminate subjects for macro photography, even at ranges at which vignetting
would occur with the flash.

11

Microphone set (SEMA–1)

Information

Produces higher-quality recordings than the camera’s built-in microphone. The
microphone can be placed at a distance from the camera to avoid recording ambient
sounds or wind noise. Third-party commercial microphones can also be used
depending on your creative intent (power supplied via l3.5 mm stereo mini-plug).

Electronic viewfinder (VF-2)
Electronic viewfinders can be used to view the shooting display. This is convenientwhen you are in a very bright location, such as under direct sunlight, where it is difficult
to view the monitor, or are using the camera at a low angle.

Camera grip
You can replace the camera grip. To remove the grip, unfasten the grip screw.
